General Fishing Season Opens Soon

The third Saturday in May, May 17, is the 2008 general fishing season opener. That makes it a special day for thousands of anglers itching to fish Montana’s rivers and streams. The general fishing season traditionally opens on the third Saturday of May, while fishing on the state’s lakes and reservoirs is generally open year round. To prepare for the 2008 fishing season, pick up the state fishing regulations at FWP offices or license providers or go to FWP’s 2008 Fishing Regulations web page.
